HELP, Full secret cam swap done now idle problems
Monday, October 24, 2005 3:31 PM
ok here is the deal. i did the full secret cam swap, both intake and exhaust cams. not at an idle it runs like complete garbage. so i put it on the scanner, and i am getting misfires in all of the cylinders. now when i give it any sort of gas the engine completely smooths out and the rough idle goes away.

so i figured i would adjust the idle air control. and found that there is a screw in there similar to a torx bit, except it has 5 points and a torx has 6. where can i find this tool to adjust it. and is there any other solution to this, maybe any other problems.

suggestions please.........

Sounds like the timing might be off by 1 tooth.

Yup... timing for sure. I did mine and it fired right back up, sounded like normal.

sounds like the timing chain is off , it happened to dave on his sunfire

i drove it , gave him a suggestion about the timing , and sure enough he was off a tooth

when i did the water pump on my motor sitting on the engine stand , it came out a tooth 1


i was glad i tripple checked it before i put it back in the car

Look at the last 2 or 3 pages in this forum you will see plenty of info about this. Not trying to be a smartass by telling you to search but there just way too much info on this in this forum right now for you to use

i got mine on ebay for 125

you are looking for the intake cam from a 2.3 quad 95 jbody(only produced for half the year)

then the exhuast cam from a 90-94 low output quad 4

the combination is suppose to add roughly 13hp to your car



i have a feeling the IAC went bad,,,,, i am going to check it today
